BLACK TURMERIC (CUCURMA CAESIA)

Just harvested few rhizomes if anyone is interested. They have 'eyes' and they sprout 100%.
This black ginger I personally took it from a mountainous area in southern Laos where it grows wild in the jungle. It grows big up to 1.5 m and faster than regular black ginger from India and survives cold weather (not freezing).

Due to its rarity price is 25 € per planting piece plus shipping preferably to Europe.






It has many healing properties and used as black magic in some rituals by shamans.

So it is ginger or turmeric?

Yes turmeric, I make a drink out of it. It has a bluish/black colour inside.
Not to be confused with black ginger kaempferia parviflora
I would sell it cheaper but from 4 plants I didn't harvest much and it takes a while to establish.
